Livescience report.<\/a><\/p>\nTo prevent people from being duped, researchers are attempting to design a five-minute training regimen to help users unmask the AI-mposters, according to lead study author\u00a0Katie Gray, an associate professor in psychology at the University of Reading in the UK.<\/p>\n
These trainings help people catch glitches\u00a0in AI-generated faces, such as the face having a middle tooth, a bizarre hairline or unnatural-looking skin texture. These false visages are often more proportional than their bonafide counterparts.<\/p>\n
The participants\u2019 powers of AI detection improved substantially after the short training. RSOS<\/p>\n
The team tested out the technique by running a series of experiments contrasting the performance of a group of typical recognizers and super recognizers \u2014 defined as those who excel at facial recognition tasks. <\/p>\n
The latter participants, who were sourced from the\u00a0Greenwich Face and Voice Recognition Laboratory\u00a0volunteer database, had reportedly ranked in the top 2% of individuals in exams where they had to recall unfamiliar faces.<\/p>\n
In the first test, organizers displayed a face onscreen and gave participants ten seconds to determine if it was real or fake. Typical recognizers spotted only 30% of fakes while super recognizers caught just 41% \u2014 less than if they\u2019d just randomly guessed.<\/p>\n
The second experiment was almost identical, except it involved a new group of guinea pigs who had received the aforementioned five-minute training on how to spot errors in AI-generated faces.<\/p>\n
The test takers were shown 10 faces and evaluated on their AI-detection accuracy in real time, culminating in a review of common rendering mistakes.<\/p>\n

When they participated in the original experiment, their accuracy had improved with super recognizers IDing 64% of the fugazi faces while their normal counterparts recognized 51%. <\/p>\n
Trained participants also took longer to examine the faces before giving their answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was encouraging that our kind of quite short training procedure increased performance in both groups quite a lot,\u201d\u00a0said Gray.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are a few caveats to the study, namely that the participants were put to the test immediately after training, so it was unclear how much they would\u2019ve retained had they waited longer.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, equipping people with the tools to distinguish humans from bots is essential in light of the plethora of AI-mpersonators flooding social media.<\/p>\n
And the tech\u2019s chameleonic prowess isn\u2019t just visual. <\/p>\n
Recently, researchers claimed that language bot ChatGPT had passed the Turing Test,<\/a> meaning it is effectively no longer discernible from its flesh-and-blood brethren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You can\u2019t hide your lying AIs.
